Buying love? the sad state of eorzean romance!

not a very serious thread just curious as early prices for those that for some reason just can't find a nice young lady/cat lady or man/ cat man to show them enough love to trade a single bitter or sweet choco with them on my server alone were in the 90k range early on!

Seems sadly even on our V-day there's just very little love in Eorzea! post how you managed to get your V-day chocolate and if you had to buy it or had someone special show you some love!

have fun!

I myself met a straping young miqo'te to trade with but Ive seen market buyers! any luck for others out there!

I'll be doing the quest with my rl gf :). I hope I don't have to end up paying her for a trade :P

I was hoping to do this event with a friend but since both our characters are the same gender we cant trade and I will sadly probably just end up buying them for us both to save the hassle. That said does anyone know how many pieces you need from the opposite gender to complete the entirety of the quest line.

i'm making my online valentine participate. lol. hopefully more fun than that though. I'd like them to participate willingly and make it more fun. I heard alot of /shouts from those who hated the Valentiones Day event and just wanted to quickly get it over with.

Oh damn...what is this...a seasonal event? DAMN YOU SQUARE ENIX! lol

I for one enjoy it and i'm going to have fun with it. I think they perfectly managed to make an event that has you seeking a valentine for the event.

That's were my FC came in handy ^^ buddys are the best who needs real love when you know epic ppl;) btw Yurimi you need 1 of each. but this morning for me i saw some act haveing a Twerking eww contest for some very dumb guys to get there's how low will you go :P i guess some ppl will go very

I just took off my clothes in my subligar and shouted give me chocolate for some sexy time and got a trade up in a second.
Do not under estimate the power of subligar...

Anyways, it shouldn't be hard to trade with others, they will have enough sooner or later, event just started, don't have to rush :)

for me I would just rather do it with someone I like rather than some random person I wont ever talk to =P thank you for the info though

anyone know if being in a party with someone will allow their names to appear on the gear similar to how FFXI worked with the charm and miracle wands ?

Oh but the guy in my FC iv known for over 6 years so it's a dear friend that's why it was special to me^W^

yeah a lot of my friends both male and female play female characters so sometimes it can be hard for stuff like this to do it with someone you know =(

This event has shown me how many female characters there are compared to males. Thankfully i got lucky and found someone, but out of curiosity, i checked the market board to see how much they were going for, the male ones were two to three (or more) times the female ones.

I'm rich and 40 lbs over weight. I'm glad love costs money.

Since the NPC will only accept "heterosexual chocolate" I shouted for a random female char to trade me.... Not even the bitter chocolate tastes this bitter.

Yeah, my partner plays a girl character as well, so hence it would be impossible for us to trade the items for this quest. And as I felt iffy about accepting such an item from a complete stranger, in the end I just bought it off the market board, which showed all too plainly how much of a gender imbalance there is in this game.

The pure heart chocolates were only selling for 2k each, where as the bitter heart ones (the type I needed) were at least 18k! (cheapest I saw it drop to was 16.5k, but it was snapped up before I could get it), meaning there were a few enterprising guys out there. ;)

My wife and I both play female kitty. Guess I will just have to get her something IRL.

Mr. Hellstorm. We meet again.

So I have a male character and a female alt, can I just put the stuff in the FC chest after getting the chocolates to essentially trade with myself (seeing as people are selling them)? I haven't done any V-day stuff yet since I've got class, but I'm curious how this actually works now.

Mayhap I shall make a male a rake in the profits of Luuuuuuuuuuurve!

This sounds sadder than buying love for some reasons. :/

Lol yeah it does, doesn't it? Just trying to see if I can avoid some hassle and save gil (because I'm running low xD). University takes time from the game =p

Why do people want to make the V-day event something so dramatic? Its just code guys, it means nothing XD.

It only takes one to complete the quest line then you trade the other ones in for the other one at the retainer for the rest of the outfit... I actually traded more than one so I could help some friends out and it cost me nothing but 1 reply on a shout...

People profiting off selling chocolate on Valentine's day?

THIS IS NEW AND SURPRISING!

I did one shout and got a couple suitors to trade chocolates with. Even though I just needed one after hearing about bitter chocolate on the market board from my FC I went ahead and traded with both of them since I knew it would help them out. Afterwards blew them a few kisses and moved on. Quest finished in less than 60 seconds with no gil spent besides teleportation fees to get there lol

I really dont think this quest is a bad as people are making it out to seem lol

lmao tru facts

Shouting seems to work just fine.

No wonder I got people shouting dibs at my male warrior-alt... Didn't realize there was shortage on male characters, even though it sort of makes sense.

I traded mine to a random, as intended... I'm not really looking to make money out of every single thing I can... Could live without that 5k and that's just a game... Make someone happy without getting paid for once, trust me you may even like that feeling XP

I just traded with a random person. I couldn't ask me FC since we're 90% gay men and even if wee wanted to exchange we couldn't.

Met someone random without waiting too long either. We had a nice chat afterwards as well. :P
